Plymouth School of Creative Arts

Plymouth School of Creative Arts Client: Kier Construction Location: Plymouth Completion: March 2015 Plymouth School of Creative Arts, affectionately known as The Red House, is a place to develop the richness and individuality of human creativity. This all-through school, located on an inner city brownfjeld site and sponsored by Plymouth College of Art, allows 4-16 year olds to connect with a local artistic tradition going back to 1845. Through making, performing and discovering, the school pursues its core intention of ‘Creating Individuals and Making Futures’. This ambition for a creative educational habitat requires a departure from conventional teaching methods and spaces; it requires an entirely new ecology. Industrial in character and varying in height, plan, light and scale, the school’s design stimulates and charges the teaching environment. It is a place for making things - making ideas, making technology and making art. The school’s values guided the design of this building and we reciprocated by putting those values on show with three interlocking spaces to create clarity, legibility and a unique teaching atmosphere. This school is a new prototype for creative learning. It’s a building of the arts, Onsite renewable technologies include a 250sqm PV The building a gateway to Plymouth, and a new heart for the array system installed on the roof, resulting in a 17% local community. reduction against predicted carbon emissions of the uses robust, long building.
